PEP TRAINING - Trauma & Interpersonal Violence

Trauma & Interpersonal Violence will explore the devastating impact of violence on individuals, families, and relationships. We will learn how to make a trauma informed formulation with the complex symptoms of life after violence. This workshop will cover interventions to use when symptoms are complex, treatment resistant, hard to manage. We will use lecture, case examples, and videos to help participants develop empathic therapeutic skills. We will focus on best practices in trauma treatment, the body stress response, and survival systems. Throughout this we will find hope, meaning, resilience, and humor in the lives of the most courageous survivors. Participants will benefit from activities to promote awareness, self-compassion, and wellness to combat burnout and compassion fatigue.
